The Wrestling Thread Has More Hype Than WrestleMania XXIX - Part 91

My condolences to the Flair family

Attitude Era is pretty cool and brings back memories. I haven't played online often since of the servers always having issues but since 2K has taken them over I don't know if they have improved.
The CAWs people create and upload are extremely impressive at times, the WWE Universe mode is okay, I think its pretty repeative at times though. I played Attitude Era for the most part and to me was worth it just for that aspect of the game.

I never play anything online, so server issues shouldn't bother me if I ever get around to buying it

 

[Lunar_Wolf]

Damn, horrible loss for the Flair family.

 

[Dr. Evil]

My thoughts and prayers go out to Ric and his family. I can't imagine their pain right now.

Former WWE star Ken Shamrock recently appeared on Ring Rust Radio, and spoke on a number of topics, including a potential WWE return:


On a return to WWE and how winning the World Title would cement his legacy:

"Oh, definitely. I’ve tried to reach out, but I’ve been hitting some walls. I’m not sure if my messages are getting through or not. In my career, if you follow my career and watched everything that I’ve ever done from the time I was in high school to where I’m at now, I’ve always been able to reach the pinnacle. In football, I was able to win championships and go to bowl games in college, be an All-American linebacker and there were a lot of things I was able to accomplish. In my professional career, every time I jumped into an organization, I always reached the top and the title. I know with NWA with Jeff Jarrett, TNA, I was their first heavyweight champion, so I was able to reach that pinnacle. With Pancrase, I was their first champion and was also able to bring it to the U.S. using my character. I also reached the level in the UFC as a heavyweight champion, one of the first of all time, also rookie of the year, fighter of the year. I got into pro wrestling, I’ve got tag team champion, Intercontinental champion, King of the Ring. There were several times where I wished I had got that opportunity, and probably should have had that opportunity, to at least challenge for the Heavyweight Championship belt. I never got that opportunity, and I’m not sure why, but it is what it is. I will keep fighting to try and get that opportunity and close this thing up to be probably one of the only persons in sports history to go into several different organizations and become world champion in every one of them."

Wouldn't mind, always been a fan of Shamrock. Brock vs. Shamrock sounds like a more enticing WM match than Brock vs. The Nose of Noses, Queen Stephanie and the MacDaddy family...ugh..

I'm calling it now. Cena heel turn at WrestleMania 29. Johnny Ace and Cena screw The Rock out of the title.

The teases are beginning to get too much. It's seems too good to be true though.

 

[SpideyFan866]

The teases are beginning to get too much. It's seems too good to be true though.

Yeah. I don't know if its just me but the whole "Do you want to be popular or do you want to win" thing really made me think they might turn Cena. and with John Laurinaitis no less.

I really can't see any other reason why they would bring him back.

 

[Van Petrol]

I know what you mean, a la something similar to Austin-McMahon at WMX-7, that line you highlighted made me think, surely not?...


Can't see them pulling the trigger on it though.

 

[JabarR]

Y2J's killing it tonight!!!!!!

Yeah. If they do pull the trigger on it, I will have seen it coming, but I will still be VERY shocked as well.

 

[Van Petrol]

Yeah. If they do pull the trigger on it, I will have seen it coming, but I will still be VERY shocked as well.

I think it's safe to say we all will, lol..

 

[SpideyFan866]

I think it's safe to say we all will, lol..

Of course. t:

 

[The Apocalypse]

Yeah. If they do pull the trigger on it, I will have seen it coming, but I will still be VERY shocked as well.

I fully expect Cena to win clean and the fireworks will hit soon afterwards.

 

[Van Petrol]

Y2J's killing it tonight!!!!!!

With all the alternate names he's come up with for Fandango, I'm surprised he hasn't yet used Fandango-go power rangers!..
